西安雅思写作6.5分班，西安雅思写作考试培训班，leisure is a growing industry, but people no longer entertain themselves as much as they used to because the use of modern technology has made them less creative.  
do you agree or disagree with this statement?
 
entertainment helps people relieve their pressure from work and study. however, whilst recreational activities are getting increasingly diversified, many people unfortunately find that they cannot get entertained as much as they did in the past.
 
in some areas modern technology allows the expression of human creativity to go unhindered. indeed, with up-to-date computer graphics technology, some astonishing special effects are frequently shown in hollywood movies, particularly in some science-fiction works. moreover, with the invention of the internet, game lovers across the globecan explore the fun of online entertainment in a virtual world full of mystery and adventure.
 
nevertheless, in most cases, the overuse of modern technology has made life less entertaining than it could have been. take the music industry for example. unlike their predecessors who were constantly exploring life for inspiration and originality, today's artists are confined to studios, relying on computerized processing and techniques for their work. as a result, despite the mass production of popular songs and music, we rarely find a truly remarkable piece. imagine again those childhood games we all have played such as“hide and seek”. simple as they may be, these activities offered us the real excitement of going outside and having fun with our friends. by contrast, nowadays an increasing number of people are following a sedentary and isolated lifestyle due to the popularity of modern entertainment forms such as watching tv and playing video games.
 
given the above arguments, it is reasonable to assume that although modern technology has made our life easier and more comfortable, it takes away the real pleasure of creative entertainment.

simple as they may be 让步状语从句中倒装
 
simple as they may be, these activities offered us the real excitement of going outside and having fun with our friends.
 
“simple as they may be”在这里是让步状语从句的倒装结构，相当于although they may be simple，同样的例子还有：

＝although he is smart, he still cannot figure out my magic tricks.
